The Ground Floor and the Final Four - Part 2



This is so exciting.  This is the first time in the history of this blog that I've ever had a "Part 2" to anything.  What accelerated progress we are enjoying!

At this this rate, there's no telling what could happen.  For all we know, we could be standing on the ground floor of of a 22 part series.

Maybe 12.

This could even be the start of a 115 part series...think about THAT for a minute.

Between you and me, I hope it DOESN'T go that long, I'm simply saying...it COULD. 

Blog you are a mystery!
Blog you are a thrill!
Blog we will make history!
Bloggy bloggy brill!

As you may have read in the comment section of the first post of this blog, there is some genuine concern out there that Kentucky win the Final Four Basketball Tournament this year.  By "concern" I mean "hope."

Naturally, considering the fact that I know so very much about the sport, and will answer it from a Biblical and therefore correct viewpoint, I have been asked my opinion on this very important topic.  Good move on your part.  I can think of no one more qualified than myself.


To give an accurate answer to this question, one must first separate oneself from all one's dogs in one's fight.  By that I mean - all emotion must be eliminated from the question before answering.

Case in point: I personally love the uniforms Kentucky has. For many years I sported the same design for both my gardening clothes as well as my pajamas.  They always made me feel jumpy and dribbly - but in a GOOD way.

But how a team's uniform make us feel while we're sleeping or mixing fertilizer can have no bearing on whether or not we think they're going win the Final Four.

Secondly, all personal ties to a team must be extracted.  Sure you may be from Kentucky, but this doesn't mean they still don't stink.  Being from the moon doesn't make it a good place to swim.  

I'll shine that last illustration up later.

Finally - all that really matters when determining whether or not a particular team will win the Final Four is...

1.) Do they know what a basketball is?

2.) Do they know what to DO with that basketball?

And finally - 

3.) Do they have any horses?

This last consideration is really the key to the whole thing.  You will find that, all things being equal, the team that has horses usually wins.  Doesn't do wonders for the court of course - horses refuse to wear sneakers for very long - but the guys who have horses just...dominate.

Horses make winners.  And that's why my pick for this year's Final Four are these 4 guys...
